I'm going to attempt to be as optimistic as brimike and expect TPTB to insert a few Mac monologues over the next few weeks or something to flesh her out because I really don't want someone else to have joined the cast yet again and become a complete waste of space/acid on my eyeballs. I really hope they don't fail with her as they did with Eva/Tammin.

Hell, if she has more chemistry with Cane and creates a compelling triangle with Lane, I'll take it. Anything that works over something forced that doesn't.

Not that I think so LOL, but I thought we've been fed to believe that Lily was the moral barometer that her peers can't be LMAO.

I don't see the point of creating a barometer on this show, though. Is it to re-register all that's been done over the past few years is a lot worse than what we've witnessed? If so, then that's lame. Everything is bland. Inserting a barometer to remind me how bad all these characters really are won't change my mind of how they really aren't that crazy.

On the subject of Mac, I don't think we'll ever do any better than Rachel Kimsey in terms of acting ability and range. But AshBash's Mac was the one who consistently stayed in character and played Mac the way she was always intended to be - icy and unpleasant. I'm not sure exactly how I feel about Clementine at this point, but she's lightyears ahead of Kelly Kruger.

Colleen is a great character, but I have never viewed her as a moral barometer, regardless of the actress.

Fonseca's version smoked pot.

Leon's version schemed to get JT away from Mac and then slept with her teacher.

Sursok's version threw herself at Daniel to spite Amber.

Colleen is no Mac where morality is concerned, although she isn't completely devoid of morals like Amber or Chloe.

I think Clem is doing good as mac. Not great not fantastic.. but not bad or awful. Juts good, and thats OK. Because really, mac has always been an awful character IMHO. I dont htae her her so far this run, and i think thats all due to Clem but because it sure isnt the writing. The sudden "im gonna stay here for no reason" to the insta longing for Billy? WTF.

I love the ons creen relationship between mac & kay, and i think Clem & Cooper have great chem. I also really like Clem's chem with Billy Miller and with The Beastmaster. But id like to see her out and about more.

SOmething is missing for me with Mac tho, and its not the acting. Its in the writing.

      I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.

      It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.

      The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl.

      Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well.

      I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.

      The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.

      Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.

      I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.

      She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
